Fall is finally here, which means new shows are premiering and old shows are kicking off new seasons. This September is packed with a fantastic fall lineup of fresh faces, budding romances, new enemies and gripping drama.
MTV's new documentary series, "World of Jenks" exposes the real and uncut lives of young and inspired Americans. The host of the show and award-winning director, Andrew Jenks, delves into the lives of his subjects by moving in with them for a week and sharing every moment of fear, triumph, joy and defeat. Whether the subject is an NFL cheerleader, a notorious rapper, a high school football star, a humanitarian, a boxer or a homeless person, Jenks successfully makes his subject's world merge into his. While each person featured in the show is unique, Jenks emphasizes that they also share a power in speaking to their generation in a universal way. "World of Jenks" premieres Sept. 13 at 10 p.m. on MTV.
This fall, Bravo is satisfying everyone's sweet tooth with "Top Chef: Just Desserts." Similar to the award-winning show "Top Chef," the new series gives the 12 contestants several elimination challenges to test their culinary skills. Each episode has two challenges.

"Top Chef: Just Desserts" premieres Sept. 15 at 11 p.m.
